Germany wouldn’t pay for gas and oil, and deliveries would stop. Reserves are probably high enough to last into spring, so there’d be about 9 months to find alternatives before next winter. Russia, meanwhile, would be bankrupt within a few

A God, not being out for her own amusement, will likely create only one universe. A player with a simulator will create dozens.

There are countless examples of similar requirements. The license requirement for driving is, for example, a specific instruction how to do something. The law doesn’t just say “must be capable to safely operate a car”. I bet building codes

Also, salty seawater will eat through any metal at about the rate of a Windows 95 install process indicator. At that point, the nuclear gunk will disperse in the water, enter the food chain, and soon be part of your romantic lobster dinner.

No, but I trust the people I regularly interact with and therefore allow them to be in my home. Nobody trusts people just because they happen to be in their home. To the extend that trust can go to “zero”, my fear is it will harm the (exist

I’m somewhat unhappy the “zero trust” terminology ha caught on. The technology is fine, but trust is an essential concept in many parts of life[0], and positioning it as something to be avoided or abolished will just further erode the relat

First Mali, now this. It’s the sign of a robust cultural hegemony when they copy even your worst ideas, I guess. Like McDonald’s, 70+-year copyright terms, or the violent descent from democracy into chaos.

It's definitely more complicated than that. I travel a lot, sometimes to places where borders are dotted lines, cities use a script I can't read, but every hill is "charlie-5" or somesutch... VPNs, public terminals, gove

I switched to Apple's (paid) iCloud+(?) and it was entirely smooth, even though it was still in beta at the time (or alpha: the signup notification I got still had editorial comments in it).

Just like Microsoft might not want users on cheap VOIP lines because those services tend to be like in the seedy underbelly of the web, Google also doesn't want it to be useful for that purpose, for exactly the same reason.

Yeah, they make almost tens of dollars forcing users to use Safari or Edge instead of lynx.

If it generates something, it can still do whatever it wants with the generated files if the purpose is to, for example, embed spam links. If the server is the target, it either still has access to it, or to some alternative computer which,

The issue here was plugins from compromised third-party repository. This has little to do with WordPress. It’s the mechanism Apple refers to as justification for the App Store monopoly which, I guesss, is hated on alternative days to supply

That's not "devil's advocate", that's just an example of the meaning of "difficult to balance". There's this idea in the tech crowd that laws governing circumstances that aren't quantifiable or b

I am Jeff's complete lack of surprise... Let's hope the complaint is sustained. It's bad enough that this tactic is even tried. The right to unionize is meaningless if organizers can be silenced this easily. It's difficu

I don’t necessarily disagree, but substack would seem to be an example of quite a bit of success for writers.

They might not get to “redefine words” but neither do you get to just change them to fit your point. The slogan used “defund” not ‘abolish”. “Defund” is somewhat ambiguous, indeed. That the initial slogan with “abolish” didn’t catch on actu

How do protests against police violence lead to more crime? Not a single police budget was actually cut.

The fact I can’t tell you the individual grain of sand that makes the difference does not imply that the concept of a “sand beach” is meaningless.

The correlation held for 10,000 to 17,000 as well as 0 to 10,000 steps. Are people doing 10,000 steps/day “barely able to walk”?

Steps seem to be far more specific than, say, distance. And all the data suggests incorporating walking into your daily life is better than sitting around all day and compensating with visits for the gym, so the people you mock are arguably

I believe, in the nomenclature of the subject field, this falls under "are men okay?" rather than "this is not okay".

As anyone with a bit of literacy can probably deduce from the domain name alone, this is misinformation. A quick scan of news mentions of the lawyer named in the article shows they have been involved with any number of scammy attempts to pu

As reported everywhere else, the denial is carefully worded to deny only things that were not alleged, i. e. that Sotomayor personally and directly asked Gorsuch to wear a mask.
